No More Deaths, the group that he's a part of, is faith-based. From their site, "Since 2008 we have been an official ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Tucson." From wikipedia, "No More Deaths was founded in 2004 by area religious leaders, including Catholic bishop Gera...

this movie was fine, but imo it would actually have been more scary if the supernatural element wasn't manifest or even present at all (with the exception of the very ending which had no real effect on its spookiness and could stay) but if all the tension and terribleness didn't clearly come fro...

Far as I can tell, there are two crimes. One being the original charge, the second is that they are an illegal immigrant. simply being in this country unauthorized is not a crime, though, and also this case was explicitly talking about all immigrants, documented and undocumented. The plaintiffs inc...

Spoilered for tangential: Personal property, the ability to feel some degree of ownership and control over access for a space are important to us as individuals, to our ability to -be- individuals outside of our deepest thoughts, to feel comfortable that we have a place to be individuals without be...

trump administration starts denying visas to same-sex partners of diplomats/un employees anyone who is already gearing up to be like "well this is just Fair And Equal treatment it's not anything bad because it's the same policy as heterosexuals" can choke on a hot poker and die, there are ...

i mean i was completely ignoring j_s's initial post because it was completely nonsensical and barely coherent. but yes, i was also taking you to mean what you're talking about now and it's still wrong. media rated r/m can't cover every topic to every depth that media rated g/e can, not the way you s...

i've lost track in the whole rapist judge fiasco about whether this was posted already so sorry if this is a repeat but anyway in further the administration literally just does not give a fuck if the whole world burns news their own environmental impact statement predicts a catastrophic 7 degree ris...

obviously adult media can cover some different topics than child media, but that doesn't inherently follow that that makes it better. (also, children's media absolutely can cover topics of sexual assault, and there's enormous value in managing to do so in ways that make it both accessible and releva...

stuff about how children's media is in fact inherently worse bc children are dumber i feel like the thoughts in this post are made from a perspective that is so common as to be taken entirely for granted in society, so it isn't even spelled out. that perspective is based on a few underlying assumpt...

the equating of drinking habits with "classy respectable people" is a certain kind of gross that i don't fuck with at all, but i don't think it's space alien level of rare to have never been black out drunk. (at least ~14% of adults have never drunk alcohol at all so it can't be completely...

vegan mayo is definitely way better than any storebought mayo. before i was vegan we used to just make fresh mayo at home a lot for sandwiches and i think i actually liked that, but it's been so many years now that maybe that's just nostalgia speaking.

i mean i am literally telling you about the makeup of socialist groups who i l i t e r a l l y work with constantly for the past several years but okay i guess your sample size of being a markedly racist nonblack person who doesn't hang out with socialists much is going to be hella more accurate tha...

I'm realizing now that I don't think I've ever met anyone black who identified as a socialist. For some reason, it hadn't occurred to me until now, but it seems there's a really sharp divide. do you hang out with enough socialists to get a representative sample? for that matter, do you hang out wit...

The point isn't that adoption makes you free from flaws, but it seems reasonable to expect that racists in the US would probably be less likely to embrace mixed race families. So, it's a possible test. I would expect results like "disproportionately adopts white babies" or "dispropor...

*bootlicker voice* it's not about racism it's about secure borders, the problem is illegal immigration, this isn't about cracking down on immigrants in GENERAL. https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/uscis-starting-denaturalization-task-force/ ... we just, really, desperately need a task force specifical...

anyway for the revolting hateful "this isn't fascism just because you don't like it" "there's totally legit reasons for this court inhumane treatment that have nothing to do with racism" crowd (whoever is still left, hopefully won't be left for long), please explain to me the com...

In addition, there's a categorical difference between things like "The world would be a better place if Hitler dropped dead" and things like "The world would be a better place if everyone but Aryans dropped dead." yeah, this. i know our resident favor apologist thinks that they'...

Not Scalia's lead? I know things can get a little partisan but that's uncalled for. Nobody here should be wishing death upon anyone because of politics. yeah i mean it's totally fine that these people are CAUSING deaths en masse, we should anyway wish for long happy comfortable lives for them as th...

there have been so many stories recently about service members getting deported because they were enrolled in the program y'all are talking about, were doing everything the legitimate right way and were explicitly told by military recruiters that serving would be a path to citizenship, and were then...

wait were children actually vérifiably placed with human traffickers before, or was that just a continued speculation about things that COULD potentially have happened because the government didn't keep tabs on all of them? i saw a lot of people speculating about all the things that might have happe...

Maybe they applied for a grant from various government entities - which is reprehensible (not that I blame them for taking advantage of it if they did) but that's not the point. If such an upgrade was really useful to the town they would have done it anyways. this is great though like really illumi...

are you a roads and wars are totally acceptable use of taxed money but helping the poors magically isn't kind of libertarian or a there should be literally no public infrastructure, let's hurry on toward the dystopia where only the rich can afford to actually travel because every section of roads is...

the left doesn't pretend that small gouvernement is a central tenet of their beliefs. the right constantly talks like they care about small government while actively working to overturn local policies they dislike in favor of forcing local governance to abide by the whims of conservative federal pol...

given that immigrants in camps are paid $1/day for their labor and slaves in American prisons make a lot of "made in america" goods for pennies an hour, anyone genuinely concerned about depressing wages would be concerned about reforming if not abolishing prisons (for immigrants and americ...
